Trees are among our best allies against climate change: they absorb carbon dioxide and lock it up as wood fibre. In the process, they produce the oxygen we inhale and purify the air we breathe.

Not everyone has the time or place to plant a tree – but you can support trees and forests every time you browse the internet:

Use org as your default internet search engine, because every search helps fund the planting of trees – over 7.5 million so far!

Set The Rainforest Site as your web browser default home page. With a simple click, you can preserve one square meter of rainforest each day – a small amount, but last year, enough people clicked to preserve 3600 hectares of rainforest!

And, if you do happen to have the time and space, May is the perfect time to plant or transplant a tree!
